1. Partially Identified Small Group? ==> This electronics laboratory photo appeared in Dr. Arthur Norberg's book. We would like any reader feedback about when, where, and who are in the photo. Lowell's opinion is that the person at the far right resembles a quite young Bill Roos. I expect to get his feedback soon.

Photo, L-R, Mack McCain, VP-Federal Systems Marketing, Vern Leas, VP-Defense Systems Marketing, Forrest Crowe, VP-GM Univac Federal Systems
Circa 1967-1969, Univac St. Paul included both the Defense Systems Division and Federal Systems Marketing, responsible for the sale of commercial computers to the Federal Government. Federal Systems Marketing was headed by three different VP's, Lee Johnson, who was fired, Mack McCain, who resigned, and Dick Frary, who also resigned. Vern Leas, VP of Defense Systems Marketing, reported to at one time or another to the three people named above. After Frary left, Federal Systems Marketing name was changed to Federal Systems Federal Operations, with headquarters in Washington, DC, and reported to Americas Domestic Division (ADD) in Bluebell, PA.
This short era was a chaotic, intriguing politically charged time in Saint Paul. In 1968 Vern Leas moved to Bluebell to head the Univac Computer Services Division. Forrest Crowe named Dewaine Osman as Leas' replacement before he also moved to Bluebell and was replaced by Dick Gehring.
During this time period, Bob McDonald was the president of Univac and Probst was the VP of Engineering.
